Word from the 615 has it that buzzing singer/songwriter Riley Green has officially signed a pub deal with Warner/Chappell. Congrats to Ben Vaughn and his Nashville team.

That said, labels are still salivating over the chance to sign him. Checkbooks are open and offers are in, and we hear the deal level is up there for a new country artist. Expect moves to continue to be made quickly.

The charismatic Green, who’s managed by industry up-and-comer Joe Lee, already pulls in serious crowds when on the road; he’s repped by WME for touring. His six-song EP, Outlaws Like Us, dropped last August. That set houses song “Bury Me in Dixie,” which boasts 2m+ streams on Spotify.
